Same Old Song

"I'm sick of hearing the same old song. The same old heartbreaking story about some poor shit whose life sucks dick thinking he's gonna change the world through another angry song. Well I don't see progress just repetition same old songs about oppression. Another band that will break up in a year because no one in it really cared. Just in it so they could say they tried to their kids when they wonder why, why they let the world get to the point that it is.Yeah we've all tasted oppression but still we stand on division letting fashion taint our vision and thinking that our clothes alone damage the system.

I'm sick of hearing the same old songs.

We haven't even made a dent but the system's not going to let us forget that every time we make a stand Whitey smashes us back down again. Yeah I know we all got problems and I don't think that this song's going to solve them. Why can't you find your own inspiration instead of sponging off last year's condensation. It's unfortunate that you've got no solution to the problems of oppression, pollution, abuse, death, self-sacrifice. Sometimes reality is an ugly thing. Oh yes this world is still a mess, but you still have one more complaint to add on to this list. Just one more dead weight to help pull down this sinking ship.

Same old heartbreaking story."

I think it has the same message as New Wave, if you don't like the music being played on the radio then be the band you want to hear.

Why the fuck won't anyone post anything?

cause theres nothing to be said.... SHHH!

Does that mean you agree with me?

This song kinda sucks.

why?!

i think its there best old song.

It's my second on his first demo, but the demo overall kinda sucked. I think most people shit bricks over it 'cause Tom made.

people over do it ya, but i mean if it wasnt for the audio being so shitty, i think its pretty well written for a 17 yr old. or however young he was

IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT I DIE FOR THE CAUSE

Eh, to me, it just felt like he was trying to pull off the poetic Crass deal, which is great 'n all, but really hard to pull off.

So what do you guys think the song means?

I think you hit the nail right on the head. y'know, I think most teenage punks have written a song like this, well same subject matter.

Thanks

i love the bass line in this song.

Toms Demo is the worst in the AM! catalog.

I think it's alright, I just love this song.

great shit

I really like the lyrics.

i also love the bass line. haha i love the song.

I just love everything about it.

it makes me want to DANCE...i have to really keep myself from doing so.

Yeah, the bass line sounds all happy.
